All of my life I have had one illness after another. I was also abused as a child and in my first marriage. It recently dawned on me that these two major dimensions of my life might be related. This website is a place to share what I am discovering about the link between abuse and illness. It is also space to assist me as I continue to heal. Many of us believe that our health issues are connected in some way to the abuse we suffered. Science is beginning to prove this true. It seems to me the more information we have that corroborates this connection; the better chance we have of achieving the health we deserve. My hope is that the information on this site gives you insight into the possible root of illness or pain in your own life. Maybe this understanding could help you in your own healing from the physical manifestations of abuse you suffered.
